“Everything you said about [withdrawing some troops from] Iraq
yesterday, and everything you will say, is a deception, for the purpose
of this one cynical, unacceptable, brutal goal: perpetuating this war
indefinitely. War today, war tomorrow, war forever!...A man with any
self respect, having inadvertently revealed such an evil secret, would
have already resigned and fled the country! You have no remaining
credibility about Iraq, sir!...Mr. Bush, our presence in Iraq must end,
even if it means your resignation, even if it means your impeachment,
even if it means a different Republican to serve out your term, even if
it means a Democratic Congress and those true patriots among the
Republicans standing up and denying you another penny for Iraq, other
than for the safety and safe conduct home of our troops. This country
cannot run the risk of what you can still do to this country in the next
500 days.”
— MSNBC Countdown anchor Keith Olbermann addressing President
Bush in a “Special Comment,” September 4.
